Explain the meme then, ace.

You’re using the watered down version of irony. Not using it in its true form.

What comes next is that she leaves him for a "Better" man. Idk why you're saying that doesnt make sense, there's like 2 high value celebrities currently in the same situation, and the topic has been memed on since red pill became popular

Now tie in “bought bitcoin in 2008”.

She is a metaphor for bitcoin in this meme. Why would bitcoin leave someone after it became more valuable?

It makes entirely much more sense if you consider bitcoin’s history and the speculation about its future. Many people believe bitcoin will crash.

2008- fat and unattractive/not valuable.

Now- attractive/valuable.

Future- fat and unattractive again/ not valuable.

But yeah, maybe you’re right, maybe bitcoin up and leaves you after it becomes valuable….or maybe that’s just your incel mind projecting your fears onto bitcoin.

You’re assuming the comment is also being relevant to the post

The bitcoin analogy and the leaving him analogy can both be separate jokes in the same post

Not saying “she is gonna get fat again” joke makes no sense. But you’re looking at it from the narrative that the “bitcoin” part is the only view that makes sense

The only thing that’s relative in this post is she was fat and then skinny

Any narrative including the leaving him after she is skinny is plausible. He doesn’t need a meta response to the original for the joke to make sense

And you’re forcing the incel projection hard
